DirtDiver81 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't play a particular style, I try to adapt to the army I have across the table. I want to be able to handle most anything but I fear that I am lacking in the shooting area. At the moment I am trying to pick up a couple of Razorbacks and drop pods to help with mobility.

LutherMax Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Razorbacks will help with mobility and provide some shooting support. Another Baal so you can double them up and / or a couple of Speeders? If you want to really go to town, a Sicaran, a Deredeo and/or a Knight Crusader ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDiver81 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 That's what I was thinking, use the RBs for running and gunning. Probably picking up a Land Raider too to transport termies and shoot. Two land speeders with assault cannons should help out. I would love a Knight Crusader, just too much money :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah Knight (while tempting) isn't on the top of my list either... I think they way you're going is both functional and fluffy for BA. You have the Raven too, a not un-formidable gunship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDiver81 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 So land speeders or bikes with grav?? Do you think a Vindicator, Whirlwind, Sicaran or a Deredeo are useful? Just for something hard hitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I've used Speeders and found them to be great. There is something in the fact they don't seem that much of a threat to most opponents but actually pack quite a punch and can use range and speed (and cover due to small size) very effectively. I'll be honest, I haven't used bikes or Vindis but based on how popular they are I definitely plan to. Same goes with Sicarans and Deredeos but just reading the rules for them is enough to see how awesome they are. The issue of course is cost - you gotta pay the price, in both pounds and points...

DirtDiver81 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think I will stick with the land speeders, rather than the bikes. Trying to work out a deal for two Razorbacks. Seller also has a whirlwind....hmmmm lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDiver81 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 The wife bought me a drop pod and a squad of DC today :-) So I need to build a Sang priest but I am having a hard time finding the right bitz. I really need the shoulder pad and the arm with the chalice and Nathecium. Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightykin Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Blood angels upgrade spure has a chalice on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDiver81 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I saw that one, the shoulder pad and Nathecium seem to be the hard one to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightykin Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 If your not too fussy, you can get some apocathery shoulder pads off eBay which might like good for a priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Exactly. Unless you want to buy Not-Corbulo, a sanguinary priest pretty much looks like an apothecary with a BA shoulder pad. The use of the chalice is not limited to the Sanguinary Priesthood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDiver81 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I will have have to dig through those two massive boxes of bits, maybe I will get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I have a kit bashed Sanguinary Priest that I never painted. He's a mix of Death Company and Apothecary bits. Not the same aesthetic as the GW kit and no chalice but you can have him if you want? I have two others already painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDiver81 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 No way?!?! That would be amazing. You have my email :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 No problem, he's been in my box for literally years! Edit: found a pic of him - only thing is he doesn't have a jump pack but you could cut his pack off and stick one on I guess? http://www.braintyrefire.com/personal/w40k/Blood-Angels/Apoth-WIP-01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helias_Tancred Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 A 3 speeder Land Speeder squad armed with typhoon missile pods and a heavy bolter make excellent fire support for your troops! They are a very mobile fire support element that always adjust to changes on the battlefield. With experience you learn to keep them at range out of most dangers and many opponents don't bother focusing on them until about the 3rd turn when they've already earned their points back and more. I love this unit and I've had much success running them that way. My regular opponents now know to target my speeders early *if* they can. They do well causing your opponent to spread their attacks thinner as well, because smart ones know how much damage those missiles and heavy bolters can do turn after turn.

DirtDiver81 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 That sounds like a fun little setup right there. I will have to add 3 of those to my list. Still need 1 more drop pod and a land raider though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
